We are thrilled to have our work on the new Bellingham Public Schools (BPS) District Office featured in the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce! When BPS approached us to design their new administrative office building, they had several key goals: to create a mobile, open-office work setting; to promote sustainability, health, and well-being within the building; and to ensure that the result was an environment that not only welcomed the community but demonstrated the district’s stewardship of community assets. In addition to the open workspaces, the three-level, 53,000-sf building includes multiple professional learning and conference rooms, an early learning center, a wellness room, a bike storage area, and a central common space with a cafe. The building supports 11,000 BPS students, their families, and all district employees. ?
